Kingdom of Cambodia
Yes, after the sleepy border between Laos and Cambodia and many “now you pay 1 dolla`” requests for each stamp and handshake I finally entered the Kingdom of Cambodia. A country often spoken about due to its relatively recent and bloody historical events. There was again, like in any other country before, a lot of action and adventure. I spent a total of seven or eight weeks there. But this time I will try to keep everything short.
In this update I will not speak of …
…the Khmer Rouge, Pol Pot or the Year Zero and the close extermination of the Khmer people.
…the locals overcoming it and their simple ways of life in the city….
…or out in the countryside…
.. the housing…
… how much I drove or what broke and how many times I fell of the bike and where it was..
…the capital of Phnom Penh or the monks riding dirty…
…the begging children….
… the surrounding temples…
…the crazy and at times annoying tuk tuk drivers…
…orphanages and donating school supplies for the children…
…the very touristic Angkor Wat will get little attention as well…
…the food will have to wait for a separate update too…
And probably so many more things that you might run into on your daily life of Cambodia.
I will try to keep it simple and focus on one thing.
The natural beauty of this country, the jungles, or the little that remains of it. The thing that will stick in my memory the most of all.
